Chinese New Year gala 2013 - Yinghua Academy

Chinese New Year is becoming such an important part of our family's life, and as Wynn gets bigger and more involved at her school, we learn about and adopt more Chinese traditions.

A tradition at Yinghua Academy is the annual New Year's gala, where each class performs - it's almost 3 hours long, with over 500 kids on stage at some point - in costume no less, and all the families in attendance.

Here are some photos from last night's performance!

We had two different Dragon dances during the show!

The entire 3rd-grade on stage in synchronized martial arts

Here's our girl!

This is Wynn's homeroom teacher - who's an AMAZING vocal talent. She did a big solo number last year, too, and brought down the house!
